Sad news is always hard to share. But we do so covet your prayers at this time. When I went for my appointment last Friday, the doctor could only see one baby's heartbeat. So he sent me to the hospital for some blood work to check my Hcg levels. I went again on Monday for more blood work. Conclusion: There was a drop in the levels. My doctor said that could mean one of two things...we'd lost just one baby...or I was in the process of a total miscarriage. I really didn't want to say anything on here until I had more information about what was happening.
I went back for another ultrasound yesterday to find out what was going on. My doctor said that Baby B was no longer alive. I had already come to terms with that. But when he tried to see if he could still find Baby A's heartbeat, there was some confusion. I really think I saw the flickering heartbeat, and he did too...at first. But the baby was situated in an odd position right up against the 'wall', and it was hard to tell if what we were seeing was truly a heartbeat, or if it was just some flickering from the u/s waves. So the conclusion? We still don't know!! The doctor said he just could not tell for sure. So we wait for another week and another ultrasound!
Please, please pray that everything will be okay for Baby A. It's the 'not knowing' that is so terrible. I know that God is in control, and I have to rest in that...but it's hard. I think when you're in a position of absolutely having no feeling of control over what's happening to you, that's when you really understand that you have to lay it all down at His feet and let go. Folks, life is fragile and new babies are a miracle. But the Lord is the giver of life...this I know. His will be done.
oh dear me! I am just so sorry to hear this AWFUL news. You seem to be doing alright with it, but I know the loss of a child (even the littlest ones) is terribly difficult. I do pray for peace for your whole family and for God's hand on Itty Bitty A. Thoughts and prayers are with you. MUCH love to you all.
Oh, I am so disappointed to hear this. I will pray for you. I've miscarried too, though I was much further along. I pray you and your family will have the peace which suprasses all understanding, with whatever God's will happens to be. God bless you.
It is with tears in my eyes that I type this, sweet Amy. I pray that the Lord will wrap his loving arms around you and give you the peace and comfort that only HE can give. Sending many loving hugs your way.
